Analysed 16 Sept 2026·10 sources analysed·Islamabad, Pakistan·Politics
Imran Khan's Sons Allege Harsh Prison Conditions and Personal Grudge by Army ChiefPreviousNext

Imran Khan's sons, Kasim and Sulaiman, have accused Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir of holding a personal grudge against their father, the former prime minister imprisoned since 2023. They allege Khan is being subjected to harsh conditions in Adiala prison, including solitary confinement in a small cell, denial of family contact, and neglect of medical issues such as an eye condition. The family fears Khan is being "slowly killed" and have been prevented from visiting or speaking with him. Pakistan's Supreme Court is reviewing a case concerning his medical treatment and access to family.
